Now we're going to remove a few slabs (and replace the spaces with gravel / planters) to break it up a bit.
Made me think of this stuff that I have in my saved list: https://www.jparkers.co.uk/3-festuca-gautieri-1011852
Idk anything about it, but thought I'd mention it in case it fits the brief.

Some awesome transformations in here!
We're starting on our garden (it's all patio paving), this coming weekend. Since moving in here last year, we've generally tidied and removed/replaced old trellising with new and have jetwashed the slabs in the back to get the YEARS of grime off them. Now we're going to remove a few slabs (and replace the spaces with gravel / planters) to break it up a bit. Hoping this gives it a cottage-y feel, but also hides the fact that they were never laid perfectly straight!
So need to build some planters out of battens and decking (and the larger ones out of sleepers) and a seating area out of euro pallets and off-the-peg outside cushions.
Also have plans for the driveway, but that involves some bricky-ing and a fence/gate being built, so leaving that to our builder as I have never built a wall before!
